One of the perks of staying in Capella Marigot Bay Marina, is that marina guests are treated the same as those staying in the Resort... Including access to events and services. One of the small extras the Resort does is their weekly "Plant Walk". Murphy, the property's head gardener takes guests around the grounds and answers questions about the many beautiful things he grows. His dedication to the cause is evident as is his well deserved pride.
These are my photos of the many beautiful flowers... sadly I don't remember the names of them all.

I attended two of Murphy's walks. He is such a quiet, shy man and very soft-spoken. Between that and his charming accent, it was fun trying to figure out what he was actually saying. I think if I live here for the rest of my life, the accents of the Islanders will never cease to delight me... Murphy's soft melodious words were as beautiful as the Flowers of St. Lucia.
